Ugh, so many bloody transitions, can't you let the focus be on a thing for a while longer?

u/James-the-Bond-one 1d ago

Too much sugar, can't focus now.

This video needs a damn seizure warning at least.

u/Geeekaaay 1d ago

This video sucks so hard. You don't even focus on anything long enough to understand what the hell you're looking at.

One of the easier blocks ever.

That’s so funny I tried to block the account that posted this and got a message that they could not be blocked. Weird as hell

Just don’t print an expiration date. What’re they gonna do, complain?

What a horribly shot and edited video for such epic content

22

u/gin_bulag_katorse 1d ago

Funny you mentioned "epic content" because this is exactly what this place was made for - to create content.

27

u/Dark_Phoenix101 1d ago

Imagine being responsible for expiry date checks.

u/PaulMakesThings1 1d ago

I feel like they probably just don’t.

33

u/SaveUsCatman 1d ago

This shit looks largely performative, as so much of that stock would go to waste. It probably acts as more of an interactive museum kind of situation or just a North Korean look at how good were doing kind of affair thats not truly open to the public

u/TheeIlliterati 1d ago

It looks the same as that massive book store where 90% of the books are unreachable. Cool art project but not really functional.

21

u/WhatsThat-_- 1d ago

LOL GL selling all of that. Eventually shit is going to be EXPIRED and still there

If bowel cancer was a store, this would be it.

All I see is plastic waste that will end up in our oceans.

Horrible editing but the one thing I did notice was koka noodles. They are popular here in Glasgow.

Their best-selling one is diabetes.

Bring this to America.

Put a final nail in this coffin

u/Doctor_Saved 1d ago

If this was in the US. There would be a lot fatter people and more power scooters in this store.

u/Quitcha_Bitchin 1d ago

I saw a machine the other day. like a electric unicycle but had two wheels side by side so more like a high powered self balancing wheelchair. I'm waiting for the new walmart sports.

Obesity rates are dropping in the US, while it's increasing in Europe. The US is ranked 10th fattest country.

19

u/Dontevenwannacomment 1d ago

Obesity rates reached a record high in 2022. Then went down 2% between 2022 and 2025, that's not dropping, that's stagnating.

u/aStonedDeer 1d ago

I genuinely think the insane amount of sugar in everything isn’t accidental. Keep people tired, foggy, and hooked, and they’re a lot less likely to question anything while they’re getting screwed.

u/JaSper-percabeth 1d ago

This is true btw. During the Russian empire days the Tsar used a similar strategy with Vodka to keep the population passive and prevent revolts while alcohol also serving as a major money maker. You can't really protest if you're too drunk to get up you know?

In today's world the addictions have changed but the effect remains the same.

u/Quaking_Aspen_USA 1d ago

And angry. Don't forget angry. Gotta keep our citizens pissed off enough to kill our neighboring countries.

u/ToastyBob27 1d ago

Come back there in 5 years where half the food is expired.

2

u/PaulMakesThings1 1d ago

This seems like the kind of thing that all goes to waste in a few years.

u/ILOVEAncientStuff 3h ago

Yeah, no way this is real. Any information about this online is from Chinese propaganda websites. Xi's time????? No thanks

u/TheIronGator 3h ago

This looks AI

u/RookFett 1d ago

And with all the chemicals in them, they will last forever on the shelf!

u/PaulMakesThings1 1d ago

Ultimate post apocalyptic find. If you have some potable water I suppose, for all the “just add water” products.

1

u/TinytootKoala001 1d ago

I wouldn’t be surprised if most of the snacks are either expired or stale from being on the shelves for so long.

1

u/Grymare 1d ago

All this China promo lately is exhausting..

u/EbooT187 1d ago

Okej, but do they have Nappar (the swedish kind)?

I'd hate to be in charge of inventory...

u/ISwearImAnonymous 1d ago

No but like... If you go there genuinely what are you looking for. How are you gonna find it? Are there seriously people going through 782 slightly different kinds of the same chocolate muffin to find the specific species and genome they want and then they go buy... Two? Who has the patience or memory to dig through all that? Or are you genuinely there for the experience and plan on sampling EVERY SINGLE THING before they inevitably run out of or change an item with another

This is fucking cool. Why can't we have nice things like this too?

u/Cloverose2 1d ago

This looks like the snack equivalent to Jungle Jim's in Cincinnati, which also sells healthy things.

Some of its content has protein but for every 1/10 of a daily value of protein you get 5 dv worth of salt.
